Abstract: |
Building recording was undertaken on behalf of Waterman Energy, Environment and Design Ltd at the Former Ford Foundry, Old Warwick Road and Prince's Drive, Leamington Spa, Warwickshire (NGR SP 3103 6518). The buildings on the site consisted of foundry structures dating from around 1860. The structures had been founded by Radclyffe and Co, later the Imperial Stove Works, to manufacture Leamington kitcheners. The founders were formerly employees at Sidney Flavel and Co who were the patent holders for the kitchener. The buildings on the site were greatly extended and altered over the 150 years of founding on the site. The final usage of the site was by the Ford Motor Company who bought it from Flavel's in the 1950s and began by manufacturing agricultural implements to be attached to Ford tractors and ended by manufacturing parts for Ford cars. The plant was closed in 2007. |
